Dental Fillings

Have you ever wondered how cavities form? Cavities are decayed areas on your tooth surfaces, starting small but potentially leading to complications like toothaches, infections, and even tooth loss. They usually develop due to a combination of factors, including poor oral hygiene practices, constant snacking, and a diet rich in sugary treats.

While brushing and flossing are your best defenses against cavities, tooth decay can still develop. That's why it's important to keep up with your regular dental exams and cleanings, which allow us to identify and address developing cavities before they progress. Additionally, professional cleanings remove stubborn plaque buildup, lowering the risk of decay.

Remember - a toothache can be a sign of a more serious problem. So, if you experience any discomfort between dental visits, make sure to contact us to schedule an appointment right away.

Tooth-colored fillings are aesthetic restorations made from a composite resin material that we closely match to your smile. They bond to your natural tooth structure, essentially sealing out cavity-causing bacteria and preventing further decay or damage. Your new restoration will blend seamlessly with your smile, restoring its health and function.

Tooth-colored fillings offer many benefits, including the following:

• They Are Natural-Looking: Tooth-colored fillings match the color and texture of your natural tooth enamel, making them undetectable when you smile.
• They Are Versatile: In addition to treating cavities, tooth-colored fillings can repair minor tooth chips and enhance the color, shape, or appearance of your teeth.
• They Are Conservative: Composite resin fillings require minimal preparation, lowering sensitivity and enhancing the tooth's strength.
• They Reduce Sensitivity: White fillings do not expand and contract with temperature changes, reducing sensitivity and damage to your tooth structure.
• They Are Biocompatible: Our aesthetic restorations are made from a biocompatible material, reducing the risk of allergic reactions or adverse effects.
• They Are Long-Lasting: Tooth-colored fillings are strong and durable, enhancing your smile for many years to come.
